'We all have our own battles and in this book, I've decided to be
completely honest about mine. I've struggled with my weight, tried
multiple fad diets, binged on tubs of ice cream and, in darker
times, been scarily obsessed with food. It's been tough seeking
that healthy balance in life: trying to lose weight and maintain it
has been one of the hardest challenges I've faced. But I've finally
found the answer, I've successfully sustained the results and am
sharing my recipes and tips with you in this book, so that is why
this is the happiest weight loss book ever! I promise that once you
read this book, you will never look back.' Connie Simmonds Connie
Simmonds, former marketing manager and make-up artist decided to
get HEALTHY after years of yo-yo dieting and all sorts of attempts
to get 'skinny'. A shocking visit to the doctors aged just 24
Connie was diagnosed with a severe stomach infection and a fatty
liver. This was the wake-up call she needed and since focusing on
her long-term health rather than quick fixes and instant weight
loss, she has dropped 2 dress sizes, sustained it and inspired
thousands to do the same. Healthy Forever comes with 60 delicious,
well balanced meals that Connie has personally devised using her
nutritional knowledge and complete and utter love and passion for
food. You'll find an array of comforting dishes, chocolate recipes
and even recipes for those days that you simply cannot be bothered
to cook. Healthy Forever is like no other recipe book, it is
refreshingly fun and light hearted with touching moments of
struggle and fight. Connie Simmonds' first cookbook takes you on
the most personal and honest journey as she reflects on her past
and what brought her here today as a credible advocate for healthy
weight loss. Connie wants her readers to understand that they are
not alone, the struggle to lose weight is real but it doesn't have
to be forever. You can finally get healthy, lose weight and be
happy, just like she did - not just for today but forever!
Our instinctive knowledge of which foods are helpful and which are
harmful appears increasingly to be fading. We are bombarded with
advice, information and prescriptions as to what we should eat and
drink, but the issues surrounding nutrition - questions of health,
diet, taste, even ecology and sustainability - remain largely
unresolved. Unlike most commentators on this subject, Rudolf
Steiner tackles the theme of nutrition in a refreshingly open way.
At no point does he try to tell us what we should or should not be
putting into our bodies - whether with regard to an omnivorous or
vegetarian diet, smoking, drinking alcohol, and so on. The job of
the scientist, he says, is to explain how things act and what
effect they have; what people do with that information is up to
them. However, he emphasizes that our diet not only determines our
physical wellbeing, but can also promote or hinder our inner
spiritual development. In this carefully collated anthology, with
an introduction, commentary and notes by Christian von Arnim,
Rudolf Steiner considers nutrition in the light of his
spiritual-scientific research. He explains the impact of raw food,
vegetarian and meat diets, the effects of protein, fats,
carbohydrates and salts, individual foodstuffs such as potatoes,
beetroots and radishes, as well as the impact of alcohol and
nicotine. His insights are vital to anybody with a serious interest
in health, diet and spiritual development.
